Flicker in setting opacity.

[Frank Rizzo]

I have a little animation where I fade out the form by manipulating its
opacity. However, the screen seems to flicker just a little bit. Are
there any tricks to making the form disappear smoother?

Thanks

Try using double buffering on your control, it will draw the image in memory
first i.e.
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);
or
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, true);
